Stereo Audio Platform Gain Controller Kit

Description

The SGC1 circuit implements a principle known as the "Platform Gain Principle," which was originally developed by CBS Labs (what we now know as CBS in the TV and radio world) to allow transmitted audio levels to be automatically adjusted to keep them within a desired range. Think of it like an audio engineer, constantly adjusting the output level in order to limit highs that would be too loud while boosting lower levels so that they can still be heard. You may think "oh, this is just another limiter/compressor!" Not so! Here's the real trick: keeping the full dynamic range ratio of the output signal the same as the original input - something the typical limiter/compressor can only dream of doing! The SGC1 can be placed in just about any standard analog stereo line level audio circuit (the red and white RCA connectors or the mini-phone connector) to keep the audio level within the desired range. It's also the perfect addition to any of our hobby kit transmitters, allowing you to match levels between different audio sources while keeping lows audible and preventing the highs from overdriving. The SGC1 makes a great addition to any audio system where you need to keep levels from different sources under control, but still make sure they all sound great!
